Global payments giant Stripe is developing a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin aimed at companies operating outside the United States, United Kingdom, and Europe. Stripe CEO Patrick Collison confirmed the initiative in a recent post on X , inviting businesses to participate in early testing of the product. The announcement follows Stripe’s regulatory approval to acquire Bridge, a stablecoin payments network designed to rival traditional banking systems and SWIFT-based transfers. Bridge was co-founded in 2022 by former Coinbase executives Zach Abrams and Sean Yu. Stripe Pioneered Crypto Payments in 2014 with Early Bitcoin Support Stripe’s involvement in crypto dates back to 2014 when it became the first major payments processor to support Bitcoin (BTC) transactions. However, due to network inefficiencies and high fees, the company halted Bitcoin support before reviving its crypto ambitions in 2021 by rebuilding its blockchain team. Since then, Stripe has accelerated its crypto push. In October 2024, the firm launched stablecoin payment options , which saw rapid adoption across 70 countries on its first day. Earlier that year, Stripe partnered with Coinbase to facilitate fiat-to-crypto conversions. Collison remarked that this latest stablecoin project is something Stripe has “wanted to build for around a decade.” We've wanted to build this product for around a decade, and it's now happening. https://t.co/zK9dADvGhG — Patrick Collison (@patrickc) April 25, 2025 Stablecoins, which are pegged to assets like fiat currencies, continue to gain traction globally as efficient tools for cross-border payments and financial stability. In the U.S., regulatory focus on USD-backed stablecoins has intensified, with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell calling for clear legislation. Meanwhile, companies like PayPal have entered the space , launching their own stablecoins and offering yield incentives to holders. As of April 25, the total stablecoin market capitalization stands at $237.5 billion, according to DefiLlama, signaling robust demand for digital dollar solutions in global finance. Jack Dorsey Urges Signal to Adopt Bitcoin for P2P Payments Earlier this month, Jack Dorsey, former Twitter CEO and outspoken Bitcoin advocate, publicly urged Signal Messenger to integrate Bitcoin for peer-to-peer (P2P) payments. Dorsey’s call was echoed by David Marcus, former president of PayPal and current CEO of Lightspark, who stated that “all non-transactional apps should connect to Bitcoin.” The comments reflect a growing sentiment among Bitcoin advocates to reposition BTC not just as a store of value, but as a practical payment tool. Venture capital firms are increasingly backing projects focused on stablecoin services and financial infrastructure. The sector’s potential was further underscored by payments giant Stripe’s acquisition of stablecoin platform Bridge for $1.1 billion last year, signaling strong institutional interest in blockchain-based financial solutions. Aside from Stripe, other payment companies have also adopted stablecoins as a means of payment. More recently, Singapore-based payments company Triple-A announced plans to integrate PayPal’s stablecoin into its list of supported tokens for customer payments.

XRP’s price posted a +6% green candle for the week on Friday, but other than BNB at +2% and TRX down -1%, it trailed the top 10 crypto assets by market cap. BTC posted +12% gains, ETH +12%, SOL +15%, DOGE +18%, ADA +17%, and SUI an eye-catching +74% candle. So Ripple’s token may be undervalued at a long-term outlook, and the value buy this weekend for long-term holding crypto investors shopping out of the most favored assets by online and commercial telecom markets. Here are five recent developments keeping market demand rolling for the massive cross-border payments company’s signature fleet of XRP tokens: 1. XRP Flips Ethereum in Diluted Market Cap HISTORIC: $XRP FLIPS $ETH After 6 straight months of outperforming #Ethereum , #XRP has officially become the second-largest asset by fully diluted market cap. The numbers? • XRP: $208.4B • ETH: $192.5B No hype. No dreams. Just onchain facts. pic.twitter.com/FcO5p4UCEF — John Squire (@TheCryptoSquire) April 18, 2025 XRP’s fully diluted market cap is nearly 1/8th of Bitcoin’s in April. That is a remarkable development and a key fundamental metric in the supply/demand economics at play in the daily market price of these currencies. Bitcoin’s market cap on Friday, Apr. 25, was $1.8 trillion. Ethereum’s was $215 billion, and XRP’s was a distant third at $128 billion. But, its fully diluted market cap is the market capitalization if all the currency’s tokens were in circulation. By that metric, XRP surpassed ETH for the first time in the final stretch of April. That’s important over the long term because XRP is supposed to become a scarce digital token with a supply cap of 100 billion coins. Meanwhile, Internet and institutional demand for the asset is high, and its use case is focused yet plentiful with expansion opportunities. 2. Paul Atkins Sworn In As New SEC Chair Meanwhile , after Ripple’s lengthy and costly lawsuit with the SEC, Paul Atkins assumed office as the new agency Chair on Apr. 21, which is especially important for XRP market prices . In the private sector, Atkins helped develop best practices for cryptocurrencies for a global strategy, hedge, and regulatory consultancy he founded. This has raised hopes of a final resolution to the lagging Dec. 2020 lawsuit against Ripple Labs. There are many vast institutional conglomerates that rely on the SEC to do business and won’t invest in something the agency is suing. Only time will tell how many of them are waiting on the government with their eye on Ripple prices. Patrick Bet-David of the “Valuetainment” YouTube podcast recently said that if the lawsuit is dropped, it will have a big impact on XRP prices going forward. 3. Coinbase Launches CFTC-Regulated XRP Futures Furthermore, the Nasdaq-listed US crypto exchange Coinbase just launched a CFTC-regulated XRP futures product in April. This could be a test for demand for XRP from cautious institutional investors and a potential leading indicator for new price support when things with the SEC are finally settled, pat and dry. But it may be a big hit with leverage traders who find crypto’s volatile markets, with their frequent big double-digit daily swings, not exciting enough without multiplying the risk-reward factor. Coinbase announced the new feature on X on Apr. 3 and rolled it out on Apr. 21. Coinbase Derivatives, LLC now offers CFTC-regulated futures for $XRP . https://t.co/omSNu0aEoC — Coinbase Institutional ️ (@CoinbaseInsto) April 21, 2025 4. Whales Are Buying The XRP Dip in April “Whales are taking over!” Brett Crypto X tweeted on Apr. 21 to some 90K followers. Whales are taking over! $XRP trading volume just exceeded 20 million in a single minute. You see this? This is real utility. pic.twitter.com/YofRSjdRGW — Brett (@Brett_Crypto_X) April 21, 2025 The last time Brett Crypto X warned about XRP was in the middle of a strong upward trend channel that lasted for months until the financial industry took a haircut, starting in February, over trade jitters. In one of the threads, a replier begged Crypto X to tell them what blockchain updates software gives them that Star Trek-looking market cap monitor. Crypto whales have an affinity for trading Ripple and are supporting XRP prices in April. Addresses between 10 million and 100 million XRP moved in April to make up about 1% more of the total share of circulating tokens. Whale support means greater scarcity and higher exchange prices for a token economy, but add to its risk of future volatility if whales sell. However, many whales on the blockchain are likely conscious of its economy and other peers and seem to follow Satoshi Nakamoto’s example by waiting months or even years to trade such substantial amounts. 5. Ripple Daily Active Addresses Surge $XRP network activity jumped 67.50%, with active addresses rising from 27,352 to 40,366! pic.twitter.com/fDiERMIYiz — Ali (@ali_charts) April 21, 2025 Ripple also saw its daily active addresses surge 67% from 27K to 40K over ten days in mid-April. That’s a more fundamental analysis of the tension against the market valuation of the most recent crypto rally. Meanwhile, the XRP price chart exhibited an inverse head and shoulders pattern, usually a bullish formation indicating the beginning of a rally in the asset’s price. The combination of fundamental/market decoupling and bullish technical indicators signals that XRP prices in the last week of April may be hiding bigger green candles.

A popular crypto trader believes one top-10 altcoin will likely outperform Ethereum ( ETH ) once the crypto market takes off on a bull run again. Pseudonymous analyst Inmortal Crypto tells his 232,000 followers on the social media platform X that Solana ( SOL ) is already outperforming ETH in the latest market bounce this month, signaling the trend will likely continue. “SOL outperforming ETH in this bounce. Obvious clues as to which out-performer will be when the bull run resumes.” Source: Inmortal Crypto/X Looking at his four-hour charts comparing the performance of SOL to ETH during the month of April, the analyst shows SOL surged from its April low to high by about 65%, while ETH surged this month from its low to high by about 33%. Next up, the analyst suggests that SOL will soon soar to around $330 after retesting a key support level at around $100. “In retrospect, it will seem so obvious.” Source: Inmortal Crypto/X The analyst also says that ETH is on the verge of a breakout after retesting the $1,500 level, likely repeating a similar late 2024 pattern. “ETH: In a few months, many will look back to this chart with regret.” Source: Inmortal Crypto/X Solana is trading for $151 at time of writing, down nearly 1% in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, ETH is trading for $1,791 at time of writing, up 1% on the day.

The post Joseph Stiglitz Warns: Trump’s Crypto Policies Could Turn U.S. Into “Biggest Tax Haven in History” appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph E. Stiglitz has issued a sharp warning: Donald Trump’s policies are pushing the United States toward becoming the world’s largest tax haven . And for the crypto community, the consequences could be enormous. Trump’s Crypto Moves Raise Alarm Bells Stiglitz argues that Trump’s administration weakened financial transparency by halting the collection of company ownership data, withdrawing from global tax cooperation, easing crypto regulations , and scaling back anti-money-laundering enforcement. In particular, Trump’s executive order to create a strategic cryptocurrency reserve and the appointment of a crypto advocate to lead the SEC have raised major red flags. According to Stiglitz, these actions make the U.S. an attractive destination for hidden crypto transactions. Crypto Secrecy: A Brewing Storm? Stiglitz warns that the rise of underregulated crypto exchanges, online casinos, and anonymous platforms under Trump could fuel the global illicit economy , making money laundering and tax evasion easier than ever. While crypto investors might see fewer regulations as an opportunity, Stiglitz stresses that unchecked crypto activity could seriously threaten long-term financial stability. A Bigger Financial Shift Underway Trump’s crypto policies are just part of a larger effort to dismantle financial safeguards, Stiglitz says. Cutting IRS staffing, reducing tax enforcement, and offering major corporate tax breaks could slash U.S. tax revenue by $2.4 trillion over the next decade. Meanwhile, tariffs on imports have burdened ordinary Americans while benefiting a wealthy few, further widening the wealth gap — and crypto assets, Stiglitz warns, are increasingly becoming a tool for tax avoidance. .article-inside-link { margin-left: 0 !important; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; border-left: 0; border-right: 0; padding: 10px 0; text-align: left; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li { font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-weight: 600; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0; display: inline-block; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li:last-child { display: none; } Also Read : $TRUMP Coin Dinner: Private Dinner Announcement with Trump Sparks 70% Surge , The World Moves Ahead Without the U.S. As the U.S. loosens its grip, over 50 countries are advancing a 15% global minimum corporate tax to promote fairness and accountability. Stiglitz suggests that America’s retreat could ironically strengthen global efforts for fairer taxation. Bottom Line Joseph Stiglitz’s message is clear: Trump’s crypto deregulation could transform the U.S. into a magnet for offshore wealth , but at the cost of financial stability and global trust. For crypto investors, the short-term gain of less regulation could come with long-term risks that are impossible to ignore. .article_register_shortcode { padding: 18px 24px; border-radius: 8px; display: flex; align-items: center; margin: 6px 0 22px; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) 0%, rgba(0, 82, 204, 0.1) 100%); } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { color: #000000; font-weight: 600; font-size: 20px; line-height: 22px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 span { color: #0052CC; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; color: #171717B2; margin-top: 4px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body{ padding-right: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: right; } .article_register_shortcode .primary-button img{ vertical-align: middle; width: 20px; margin: 0; display: inline-block; } @media (min-width: 581px) and (max-width: 991px) { .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { margin-bottom: 0; } } @media (max-width: 580px) { .article_register_shortcode { display: block; padding: 20px; } .article_register_shortcode img { max-width: 50px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { font-size: 16px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body { margin-left: 0px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: unset; } .article_register_shortcode .secondary-button { margin-bottom: 0; } } Never Miss a Beat in the Crypto World!

Browse no further for the best online crypto casinos in Singapore. Each casino on our list promises big bonuses, speedy payouts, and a premium range of slots and tabletop games. Crypto casinos have increasingly become popular in recent years for good reasons. There are several benefits of playing in a crypto casino over a conventional online casino; these include: Cryptocurrencies offer greater security and privacy than fiat methods. Crypto transactions are decentralized, meaning they cannot be censored or interrupted by third parties. Crypto transaction speeds are growing faster, making them ideal for instant payments and payouts. Crypto transactions are much cheaper than fiat methods. More so, crypto casinos offer a wider range of games than traditional casinos, as they are not bound by the same regulations and restrictions. Overall, playing at a crypto casino can offer more advantages than traditional online casinos. Players guide – Advice for choosing the best crypto casino in Singapore Trying out different online casinos to find your best fit can be tiresome. Google searches can also lead you to sites below average, which is why we have compiled this list for you. Each site in our list has a unique feature that makes it stand out. Here are some factors to consider when choosing the best crypto casino in Singapore: Bonuses: Crypto casinos always compete to offer the best bonuses to attract more new players. The downside is that some of these bonuses have steep wagering requirements, so it is good to research their terms before signing up. Examples of common bonuses include free spins, no-deposit bonuses, loyalty programs, cashback offers, and prize pool tournaments. Game selection: While casino games and slots are standard in all casinos, you can check for extra offerings like crash games, mini-games, or live casinos. It is also good to check whether the casino offers betting options for local leagues in your country. Licensing: According to most casinos’ terms and conditions, the player must confirm whether the casino is regulated and allowed in the country. Therefore, look for a valid gaming license and research its reputation among players and online forums. Payment methods: It is critical that the casino supports the cryptocurrency you intend to play with. Also, double-check the blockchain networks supported by the casino. You can have USDT on the Binance Smart Chain, but the casino only accepts USDT on the Arbitrum chain. After selecting the best casino on our list, contact customer service and double-check these factors with them.

BK8 stood out for its customer service agents, who were available on multiple platforms, including phone calls, emails, WeChat, live chat, and mobile-friendly Android and Apple store applications. Some other benefits I encountered at BK8 casino include no upper limit on the winnings for parlay bets, high payouts, and rescue bonuses.

CryptoGames : Best for beginners CryptoGames Roulette I found CryptoGames to have a simple design, generous promotions, and a broad game selection that includes its original games. The casino has been around for over five years and is, therefore, more of a veteran in the space. I enjoyed playing the CryptoGames, Roulette , which offered high payouts with a low house edge. You can earn extra perks by becoming a VIP member, such as a $100 gift on your birthday in Bitcoin and a lower house edge on Dice. CryptoGames isn’t just a gambling platform; it’s a glimpse into the future of crypto gaming with its full Web3 integration.

The casino’s market authority in the online casino space is exemplified by the SIGMA awards it has consistently won since 2023 as the best crypto casino of the year. With such a reputation, you can anticipate an above-average experience once you sign up. Another factor that I liked about Bets.io is its live chat feature. While most casinos use chatbots, which can be annoying, Bets.io connects you to a real customer service agent fast!

Jackbit: Best rakeback terms Jackbit sportsbook Jackbit had one of the best rakeback terms in our list of top crypto casinos in Singapore. For starters, the rakebacks are awarded instantly with no waiting periods or hidden wagering requirements. Most games, including the sportsbook, are eligible for rakebacks.

The fast customer care responses greatly complemented this.

These made the casino a perfect selection for players in Singapore.

Players are entitled to a no-deposit bonus. Cons: A limited selection of accepted cryptocurrencies New users must complete identity verification to play. MetaWin: Best for web3 gurus MetaWin homepage My experience on MetaWin was straightforward. No wagering of deposits, on-chain instant prize draws, no pesky human interactions. You can sign in with your crypto wallet and start betting immediately. I would recommend MetaWin to players conversant with crypto wallets and know how to transact with them safely. Despite lacking a welcome bonus, the casino offers a prize pool of up to $700,000 weekly and opportunities to win blue chip non-fungible tokens. While you can play immediately after connecting your wallet, the casino might trigger KYC when you make a withdrawal exceeding $10,000.

Blue-chip NFT prizes Cons: No welcome bonuses No sportsbook TG.Casino: Best Telegram casino Playing Chaos Crew 2 on TG.Casino For the best experience on TG.Casino, I recommend accessing it through the Telegram messaging app, which also acts as a community-building tool. Their channel boasts over 23,000 members. The availability of a Telegram chat means TC Casino offers immediate access to customer support. Their website is also as impressive with a green theme and all the features and games you would expect from a classic online casino. Specification Details Welcome bonuses 200% rakeback bonus up to 10 ETH and up to 50 free spins Game selection Sportsbook, slots, game shows, crash games, table games, card games Accepted cryptocurrencies BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT, DOGE, ADA, TGC Pros: When you play with TGC, the native token, you receive 25% cash back on the week’s net losses. Supports VISA and Mastercard payments. Cons: No mobile application. MegaDice Playing Mental by Nolimit City on MegaDice The first thing I noticed about MegaDice was its seamless design and impeccable graphics. The casino promises players a premium experience. Everything screams quality, whether it’s the realistic feel of live dealer games or the animation in slots. Like TG.Casino, MegaDice offers a Telegram experience with a thriving community. Central to the casino is the $DICE token, which grants you 15% on all losses while betting with it. $DICE holders also enjoy a generous 25% revenue share through the Mega Dice Referral Program Specification Details Welcome bonuses 200% bonus of up to 1BTC and 50 free spins Game selection Live casino, slots, table games, game shows, crash games, sportsbook Accepted cryptocurrencies BTC, USDT, ETH, LTC, XRP DOGE, ADA, TRX, BCH, USDC, SHIBA, PEPE, FLOKI, BONK Pros: Daily Missions each for free rolls on the casino. Accepts VISA and Mastercard payment options You can sign up by connecting your crypto wallet. Cons: MegaDice does not have a ‘no deposit bonus.’ Players must deposit to earn bonuses. Wild.io: Best crypto-only casino Wild.io sportsbook Wild.io is a crypto-only casino with a well-organized website that makes it easy for users to deposit cryptocurrencies and access top slots, tables, and live casino games. For those committed to the Wild.io experience, the VIP program is the cherry on the top. Players can expect various exclusive benefits as part of their VIP experience. From exclusive bonuses and promotions tailored for the high rollers to level-up rewards, the perks keep coming. And if that wasn’t enough, you can transfer your VIP status from another casino to Wild.io.

Despite being crypto-exclusive, the casino does not support signing in with crypto wallets. Conclusion Choosing the best crypto casino in Singapore is somewhat like dating—you often have to go through a few disappointing options before finding the right one. However, with the right guidance, you are set to discover your perfect match. The crypto casino industry is growing highly competitive, and platforms are competing for new players, so choose wisely and remember to play responsibly.
COINOTAG News reports that significant shifts in Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings were observed on April 26th. Analyst Amr Taha of CryptoQuant revealed that more than $500 million in Bitcoin was
Adding crypto to corporate treasuries is a clear and growing trend. And it’s not just Bitcoin. Solana’s SOL is also entering the mix as companies build treasuries they can stake and as a gateway to the broader Solana ecosystem. “The recent increase in corporations allocating Bitcoin, and now Solana, to their treasuries, reflects a shift in how companies manage risk and seek growth,” said Todd Ruoff, CEO of Autonomys Labs, in comments to The Defiant “Bitcoin has been favored for its value proposition as ‘digital gold,’ acting as a hedge against currency devaluation.” To continue reading this as well as other DeFi and Web3 news, visit us at thedefiant.io
XRP is on the verge of a significant price shift, according to crypto analyst Edo Farina. In a recent post on X, Farina stated that “XRP is getting ready for the next BIG movement,” igniting renewed excitement across the XRP community. His prediction comes as technical indicators, regulatory developments, and growing adoption converge to create what could be the perfect setup for a major breakout. $XRP getting ready for the next BIG movement — EDO FARINA 🅧 XRP (@edward_farina) April 25, 2025 Technical Analysis Points to Imminent Breakout Over the past several weeks, XRP has been consolidating within a tight range, a classic technical setup that often precedes explosive price action. Analysts observing the charts have noted that XRP continues to hold key support levels while pressuring critical resistance zones. Momentum indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also signal that volatility is compressing — a condition that historically has led to large moves. Farina’s commentary reinforces these observations, suggesting that the next decisive shift for XRP could happen sooner rather than later. Regulatory Clarity Strengthens the Bullish Case Beyond the technicals, XRP’s position within the regulatory landscape has dramatically improved . Following a series of legal victories, including the pivotal ruling that declared XRP is not a security, the asset enjoys a level of regulatory certainty that few other cryptocurrencies can claim. This newfound clarity has made XRP increasingly attractive to institutional investors and financial service providers. Farina’s insight underscores a broader sentiment in the market: with regulatory risk largely mitigated, XRP is well-positioned to capitalize on incoming market opportunities. Real-World Adoption on the Rise XRP’s fundamental utility is also expanding. RippleNet, which leverages XRP for real-time settlement, has grown into a global network connecting more than 300 financial institutions. At the same time, innovations on the XRP Ledger — including Automated Market Makers (AMMs) and decentralized finance (DeFi) integrations — are boosting XRP’s use cases beyond simple payments. We are on twitter, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) July 15, 2023 There are also strong indications that XRP is being considered for future adoption by governmental and corporate sectors, further enhancing its real-world value proposition. These developments suggest that XRP’s next price move could be fueled not just by speculation, but by tangible, growing demand. Sentiment Shifts as XRP Gathers Momentum Market sentiment toward XRP has been improving steadily. Engagement metrics on social platforms, especially X, show a significant uptick in XRP-related discussions and content. Influencers, traders, and analysts — Farina included — are increasingly highlighting XRP’s potential for an imminent surge.
